What did the taxpayers get out of the Obama stimulus? More debt. That money wasn't just spent and wasted - it was borrowed, spent, and wasted.

I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was capable of reasoning.

Plato

Death cancels everything but truth; and strips a man of everything but genius and virtue. It is a sort of natural canonization. It makes the meanest of us sacred --it installs the poet in his immortality, and lifts him to the skies. Death is the greatest assayer of the sterling ore of talent. At his touch the dropsy particles fall off, the irritable, the personal, the gross, and mingle with the dust --the finer and more ethereal part mounts with winged spirit to watch over our latest memory, and protect our bones from insult. We consign the least worthy qualities to oblivion, and cherish the nobler and imperishable nature with double pride and fondness.

William Hazlitt

I don't think you can ever make enough to be set for life. Well, I guess there are limits. In the billions, I guess.

Dustin Diamond

The soul of God is poured into the world through the thoughts of men.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have been wildly enthused about gaming since I was younger, and a career path I chose not to go down but did really consider was getting into programming and game design.

Trent Reznor

Being an extrovert isn't essential to evangelism--obedience and love are.

Rebecca M. Pippert

The way to fame goes thorough the palaces, the way to happiness does through the markets, the way to virtue goes through the deserts.

Leo Tolstoy

Not engaging in ignorance is wisdom.

Bodhidharma

The opposite for courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow.

Jim Hightower

A herp is simply the kind of animal studied by a herpetologist, and that is a pretty lame way to define an animal. The only other name that comes close is the biblical 'creeping thing

Richard Dawkins

Very often design is the most immediate way of defining what products become in people's minds.

Jonathon Ive

God makes it all come right in the end, that's what Johnnie told Dock Barker just before we parted company. I was raised a Christian-I admit I fell away a bit along my journey-and I believe that: we're stuck with what we have, but that's all right; in God's eyes, none of us are really much more than flies on strings and all that matters is how much sunshine you can spread along the way.
